Yazoo Brewing Company is about to begin a new chapter, 15 years after Linus Hall started selling craft beer from a small space at Marathon Village.

The brewery, which is now Nashville’s largest based on production, plans to vacate its Gulch home and relocate to an undeveloped six-acre site overlooking the Cumberland River at 900 River Bluff Drive in Madison.

The move will give Yazoo plenty of room to grow, with the goal of building a destination brewery and taproom with an outdoor space for concerts and picnics.

“We are thrilled to have secured a long-term home for Yazoo that gives us the space to brew without limitations and create a truly special destination for our fans,” Hall said in a statement. “Our new brewery will be custom designed and built from the ground up to meet our brewing needs, with expansion space to support our growth. Our campus will feature a great taproom, as well as dedicated outdoor space for concerts and picnics. It’ll be a destination worth spending time at with friends and family.”

The news comes after Yazoo last year listed its Gulch building at 910 Division St. for sale for $9.75 million. That site is under contract with a new buyer, according to a media release.

Yazoo closed on the purchase of the Madison site in December. A purchase price was not disclosed. Chad Grout of Urban Grout represented Yazoo in the deal.

The move to Madison will be coordinated to ensure there’s no disruption to Yazoo distribution.

Yazoo has an annual production of about 25,000 barrels and the brewery distributes throughout Tennessee and Mississippi.
